The Democrats won the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives elections. The Democrats form a majority in the House of Representatives and were very close to victory in the Senate. As a matter of fact, the Democrats said that if elected, they would raise the issue of Bush’s impeachment. For the first time in the past decade, mostly Democrats will be presidents of the United States.
The Democratic party demanded U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield to resign. It’s worth mentioning that the Democrats call Rumsfield the “architect of the inhumane Iraq war”. After that, U.S. President George Bush announced about Rumsfield’s resignation. According to CNN, former director of the CIS Robert Gates will be appointed as the new defense secretary.
